Asked by Wiki User
An egg is considered a protein, not a dairy product. It is a good source of high-quality protein and contains essential nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats.
Are eggs a starch or a protein?
Asked by Wiki User
Eggs are a good source of protein. Egg yolks have about half of the protein, but also contain substantial cholesterol, which may be a dietary concern. There are prepared egg substitutes that reduce this content.
Eggs / Protein (g)
Egg, whole raw, 1 large 6.25g
Egg, whole, raw, 1 medium 5.5g
Egg yolk, raw, 1 large 2.78g
Egg white, raw, 1 large 3.51g
Egg, whole, fried 6.23g
Egg, whole, scrambled 6.76g
Egg, whole, boiled 6.29g
Egg, substitute, liquid, 1/4 cup 7.53g
Egg white is about 10% protein (with the remainder being mostly water), of which a bit over half is a protein called albumen.
If the egg floats is it a bad egg?
Asked by Wiki User
Yes, eggs are porous and as they age an air pocket forms in the eggs causing it to float. At the same time water vapor and gases are leaving the egg. This difference in mass will cause the egg to float.
Is a cooked egg a chemical change?
Asked by Wiki User
Yes, cooking an egg is a chemical change. The proteins in the egg denature and coagulate when exposed to heat, leading to a permanent change in the chemical composition and structure of the egg.
How much potassium is in a egg?
Asked by Wiki User
Chemistry professor Charles Weber offers a list of potassium-containing foods
http://charles_w.tripod.com/table3.html
in his book suggesting potassium as a possible curative agent in the treatment of hypertension, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.
Foods are listed as mg numbers per calorie. He lists an 80-calorie egg (frozen or unfrozen) as 0.8, so the multiple is 64 mg of potassium.
Weber's site contains many links to his and other works.
Is a Egg an Heterogeneous Mixture?
Asked by Wiki User
No, an egg is not a heterogeneous mixture. It is considered a homogenous mixture because it is made up of different components (yolk, egg white, membrane) that are evenly distributed throughout the egg.
How many eggs are produced each year in California?
Asked by Wiki User
California produces around 6 to 7 billion eggs per year, making it the leading egg-producing state in the U.S.
Does cooking an egg have an effect on protein absorption?
Asked by Meganash85
Cooking an egg can increase protein absorption as it denatures the proteins, making them easier to digest and absorb in the body. The protein in cooked eggs is also more bioavailable compared to raw eggs, resulting in better utilization by the body.

Endothermic, because energy is absorbed from the surrounding (Apex Physics 2023)
When to peel a hard boiled egg?
Asked by Wiki User
Don't peel it until you're going to eat it or use it in cooking.
What do meat milk and egg in our diet?
Asked by Wiki User
To answer simply, eggs and milk are both great protein sources. An average size egg contains about 6g of protein (12%), whilst a glass of milk contains about 8g of protein (3.5%). The protein is also high quality & is easily broken down by the body into usable amino acids. If someone does not eat meat (e.g. Vegetarians) they will need a good protein alternative; milk & eggs is one good source.
How often do birds lay eggs in a year?
Asked by Wiki User
Typically, birds can lay eggs once a day at most - in some cases less often when eggs are slow to develop.
In the Enriched and Tropical Worlds where annual cycles are fairly regular and productivity high, it is very rare for parental care to be so prolonged as to inhibit breeding each year. With those Enriched and Tropical World birds that do have relatively prolonged parental care, dispersal is rapid enough that broods can be raised each year.
In the Unenriched World of Australia and Southern Africa, parental care in obligate cooperative breeders such as the White-Winged Chough may be very prolonged, but the large number of helpers means that second broods can be reared when the first is still dependent. This again means that breeding less often than annually is not likely.
The few birds where parental care is prolonged enough to prevent annual breeding are very large, altricial or semialtricial and if terrestrial occur invariably in the Tropical or Unenriched Worlds. They include:
- some large parrots such as the Palm Cockatoo
- numerous raptors such as eagles and certain other predators such as ground hornbills
- large seabirds like albatrosses and frigatebirds
What is a fresher grade or an AAA egg?
Asked by Wiki User
The grading of eggs is done by "candling" in which a light is shown through the egg to determine the quality of the contents. If the yolk is unbroken and round then it is considered "A" grade and suitable for retail or home use. A grade of AA is given to fresh eggs with a strong shell that can be cooked, unbroken, and made into hard or soft boiled eggs. So, yes, AA is slightly better than a simple A.
How many calories in 2 poached eggs and 2 grilled bacon rashers?
Asked by Wiki User
The amount of bacon and how the home fires are cooked alter the calorie count. Frying the potatoes in butter ups calories drastically.
Why do rotten eggs float in water?
Asked by Wiki User
As the egg decomposes, the mass of the egg is reduced. This is because the egg shell is porous and water vapor and gases can escape over time, reducing the mass of the egg. If the mass of the egg is less than the mass of the volume of water displaced by the egg, it will float.
How do you boil eggs so the yolk doesn't turn green?
Asked by Wiki User
Don't cook your eggs for longer than you have to and when they're finished cooking plunge them into cold water to stop the cooking process. Begin with room temperature eggs, as soon as the water comes to a boil, remove from heat and cover, let stand for 18 - 20 minutes. Remove and put in cold water. This will prevent cracking, green yolk, and will result in a tender, not rubbery, white. I I got this process from a Sara Moulton show years ago and have been using it ever since. Also, for easier peeling, don't use super fresh eggs.
Can you eat a 3 day old hot dog?
Asked by Wiki User
A 3 day old hot dog should be safe to eat if it's been refrigerated.
How do you know that you have beaten the eggs whites to thick peak?
Asked by Wiki User
Beating egg whites until a thick peak forms is ideal when making angel food cake as the egg is the leavener in the recipe. For meringue, it is what makes the meringue hold its form and not become watery and runny.
Can you change a hard boiled egg to its original soft inside?
Asked by Wiki User
No you cannot change a hard boiled egg into its original state. You would have to make another egg. If you want a soft boiled egg, you would put the egg or eggs in a small pot covering the egg or eggs with cold water. Put a lid on the pot and wait for the water to boil (put burner on medium to high). Once the water has boiled, immediatly time the egg for 3 min, and once the 3 min is up, dump out hot water and rinse eggs with cold water to stop the egg from over cooking. Then crack open the top of the egg and enjoy!
Asked by Wiki User
# place eggs in single layer in saucepan. # Cover with at least one inch of cold water over tops of shells. # Cover pot with lid and bring to a boil over medium heat. # As soon as the water comes to a full boil, remove from heat and let stand. # Large soft-cooked eggs: let stand in hot water 1 to 4 minutes, depending on your tastes. # Large hard-cooked eggs: let stand in hot water 15 to 17 minutes. # When cooked to desired level, drain off hot water. # Immediately cover with cold water and add a few ice cubes. # Soft-cooked eggs: let stand in cold water until cool enough to handle. Serve. # Hard-cooked eggs: let stand in cold water until completely cooled. Use as needed. # Never boil eggs. It makes them rubbery. # Use older eggs. Fresh ones won't peel properly. # To keep eggs from cracking while cooking (before placing in water), pierce large end with a needle, which will also make them easier to peel.
Are hard boiled eggs good for cockatiels?
Asked by Wiki User
Where would a cockatiel find a hard boiled egg in its natural environment?
This is a good question to ask yourself when feeding animals. If this is not the animal's natural food then don't feed the food to the animal.
Another response:
Yes, bits of chopped hard boiled eggs are a good source of protein for cockatiels. You may find that your bird thinks that chopped eggs are delicious.
